Join us for a talk by Professor Donald Zillman as part of our ongoing Symposium series, February 12, 12:30 pm, Nutting Hall, room 100.
Professor Zillman has taught and written about energy law, military law, tort law, and legal writing for over 50 years. His writing includes over 50 articles and 15 books in these areas.
Professor Zillman’s teaching career began at the Army Judge Advocate Generals’ School in Charlottesville, Virginia. On leaving active duty, he joined the faculty of Arizona State University School of Law where he was awarded tenure and promotion to full professor.
For over three decades, Professor Zillman has been a member of the International Bar Association’s Section on Energy, Environment, Natural Resources, and Infrastructure Law and an active participant in the Section’s Academic Advisory Group (AAG). The AAG collaborated with Oxford University Press to publish a biennial study of major developments in the energy and environmental fields. He served as Lead Editor and author of Human Rights in Natural Resource Developments (2002), Beyond the Carbon Economy (2008), The Law of Energy Underground (2014), and Innovation in Energy Law and Technology (2018). This last book involved 37 authors from 22 nations around the world, and discussed topics such as oil and gas hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”); new uses of gas and nuclear power; distributed electric power; and various renewable energy developments.
Professor Zillman will use his two-volume Living the World War: A Weekly Exploration of the American Experience in World War I (Vandeplas Press 2016 and 2018, researched and written by Professor Zillman and Elizabeth Elsbach) to discuss the lasting lessons from the American experience in the War.
